How about a salt extractor? A reaction that uses saltwater buckets and charcoal and outputs salt powder bags. If such a workshop exists it could also grind rock salt into salt bags too.

I'm honestly interested. Is there a way to differentiate salt water from fresh water in reactions? Or at least make it so a workshop isn't available if there isn't any salt water?

I've been avoiding using impulse ramps on my more serious forts, but I could still use rollers to get the carts back to the top.

This is an efficient powered setup.

Bookmarked. Cheers.

Without custom logic in DFHack, no, it is not possible - in-game, salt water is simply water that has salt "contaminants" on it (the same way swords can be coated with blood and blowdarts can be coated with venom). There's the additional issue that dwarves do not fill buckets with water unless they intend to use them immediately, and that only happens with hardcoded jobs (and it also forces the water collected to be drinkable, so they won't collect salt water in the first place).

+1 from me. Saltwater filter sounds very helpful.

Forgive my ignorance, but what do you mean by "custom logic"? And won't dwarves use buckets if they have to fill a pond?

[Putnam]

Custom logic meaning replacing the normal reaction function with one that removes water salt for that particular reaction.

Is there any way to rename individual generic items in a running fort? Its driving me slightly mad trying to find a way through brute force (don't really know much about coding, learning slowly)

Is there a way to trigger a party at a given date and customize the announcement? For instance, the dwarves would throw some sort of New Year's Eve party every 1st of Spring or something.

Maybe if it was made into an artifact without actually increasing the quality. Hmm.

Or figure out the named weapons/armor?

[Quietust]

There are only two ways (that I know of) that an item can have a special name:

1. the item has a PetInfo record connected to it (which likely also requires that it be a tame vermin), which would make it also show up in the Z-Animals screen.
2. the item has an Artifact record connected to it, which would make it also show up in the Artifacts list.

Are those named-weapons (i.e. the ones that dwarves give names to) done through artifact records?

[Putnam]

That would be why they show up in the artifacts list, wouldn't it?

[Kyphis]

Welp, after much testing that does indeed look like the only way I will be able to give generic items names. Sadly that doesn't work very easily for things like Bolts. Thanks for your help!
